The Price of Trust (Romance)

updated May 26, 2012 08:05am
Description:
Carly Richards is on the run. For the last two years, she’s skipped from town to town, ducking her dangerous and well-informed ex-fiancé every few weeks, never settling anywhere for long. With the death of her parents, Carly’s vulnerability made her trust a man with an attractive façade. Now that same man has tracked her across the country, always nipping at her heels, preventing her from reaching out to anyone other than her God.
Now she’s in Montana, and surely that is far enough away from Texas and her abusive past that she can rest. But her emotional scars are reluctant to heal, and Carly resists the friendliness of those in the small town she lights upon, especially handsome farmer Joe Baird. Without a car and money though, she has little choice but to dig in and begin building back up her savings so she can run once more. Caught in the circumstances, the kind people around her begin to creep into her softening heart. God is at work, and she has to trust him to not only take care of her, but care for the people she is learning to love. Carly must learn the Price of Trust.

“Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God--
Naught else is worth believing.
Though all my heart should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token,
There is One greater than my heart
Whose Word cannot be broken.
I'll trust in God's unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever,
For, though all things shall pass away,
HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER!”
― Martin Luther

Hi Sylvia! I'd love to be on your show! I really enjoyed the episodes I've watched. I'm just trying to get over the 'oh my word, there's a CAMERA pointed my way...'
I'm wondering, sock-monkey? Just kidding~ I've got your emails we swapped earlier, and I'll get to cracking and get something out for your show.
Thank you again, and have a great day!
